Refer to the table below. Assume that the company involved now finds that the learning rate is 71 percent. The 71 percent learning rate coefficient is −0.494109; that is b = −0.494109 in the formula Y = aXb. Required: Using the formula, Y = aXb, compute the labor time and costs for 5, 6, and 7 units.

Being driven by the high profit from digital asset trading, Doggycoin, Sulfikar has decided to set-up his own digital mining company. Let’s assume that two main essential inputs in digital asset production be the high-quality graphic card (C) and electricity (E). After observing the business for few months, he finds the production function as Cobb-Douglas technology as seen in image: Where q is continuous, strictly increasing, and strictly quasi-concave and q(0) = 0. Answer the following questions: a. If the prices of graphic card and electricity denoted by c and e, respectively, and we assume the cost-minimizing behavior. Solve for C and E in their prices and output level, and what is the total cost function C(e, c, q)? b. What are the conditional demands for input C and E?
The Al-Maskri Company in Seeb makes flower pots and receives RO 10 for each finished pot. Mr. Al-Maskri’s only factors of production are flower pot machine operators (labor) and a small building where the laborers work from. The number of flower pots per day the company produces depends on the number of employee-hours per day as shown below. The wage is RO 15 per hour.

Suppose a firm has the following expenditures per day: $250 for wages and salaries, $50 for materials, $60 for equipment, and $40 for rent. The market wage for the manager is $120 per day but the owner-manager does not draw a salary. Assume the daily revenue is $420. What is the accounting profit for the firm described above? Just give equation formula.
